Definitions

  • the present invention relates to techniques for picture coding and picture decoding, and particularly to techniques for intra-screen coding and intra-screen decoding.
  • MPEG-4 AVC which is an international standard of moving picture coding
  • a method called intra prediction is employed for intra-screen coding by which processing is completed within one screen.
  • intra prediction a prediction picture of a block to be processed is generated by replicating, in a specified direction, a decoded sampled value adjacent to the block to be processed.
  • the quality of a prediction picture can be improved by increasing the number of definitions of prediction directions.
  • the symbol 201 of Fig. 2A shows an example in which 17 prediction directions are defined, and the symbol 202 of Fig. 2B shows an example in which 34 prediction directions are defined.
  • an increase of the number of definitions of prediction directions leads to an increase of the information amount of intra prediction modes to be transmitted. Since the code amount associated with intra prediction modes accounts for a larger proportion of the total amount of generated codes when the number of definitions of prediction directions increases, an efficient transmission method is highly required.
  • JP 2009-246975 A describes a means for reducing the total number of intra prediction modes to be transmitted so as to reduce the code amount associated with the intra prediction modes.
  • the intra prediction modes for multiple blocks are scanned in units of predetermined integration units, and, when all the intra prediction modes within an integration unit are the same, only the intra prediction mode is transmitted for the integration unit, thereby reducing the number of intra prediction modes to be transmitted.
  • YAMAMOTO T ET AL "Flexible representation of intra prediction modes", 2.
  • FDMR Flexible Directional Mode Representation
  • FDMR also provides functionality to utilize the rank order of the intra prediction modes in the probable mode derivation process.
  • FDMR is designed to use more than one probable mode.
  • FDMR provides the flexible framework for intra prediction mode coding with the comparable coding efficiency compare to the one included in TMuC.
  • coding efficiency improvement can also be obtained when adding some complexity in encoding or decoding process.
  • an intra prediction mode is generally coded based on a probability model of intra prediction modes in which it is assumed that an intra prediction mode for a neighboring block of a block subject to coding in a picture is highly likely to be selected also for the block subject to coding.
  • a probability model of intra prediction modes in which it is assumed that an intra prediction mode for a neighboring block of a block subject to coding in a picture is highly likely to be selected also for the block subject to coding.
  • there is a method of defining such a probability model in a simplified way however, since it cannot be said that the actual probability of intra prediction modes are sufficiently reflected in the method, it has been difficult to efficiently code an intra prediction mode.
  • the method of adaptively defining an optimal probability model for each block enables efficient coding of an intra prediction mode but also causes complication of intra prediction processing.
  • the present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and a purpose thereof is to provide techniques for picture coding and picture decoding by which the coding efficiency can be improved while complication of intra prediction processing is prevented.
  • a picture coding device of an embodiment of the present invention is provided as set forth in claim 1.
  • a picture coding method is provided as set forth in claim 2.

  • a further embodiment of the present invention is a picture decoding method as set forth in claim 5.
  • a picture coding computer program of the present invention is defined in claim 3, and a picture decoding computer program of the present invention is defined in claim 6.
  • the coding efficiency can be improved while complication of intra prediction processing is prevented.
  • a "target block” means a block to be coded when a coding process is performed by a picture coding device, while it means a block to be decoded when a decoding process is performed by a picture decoding device.
  • a “processed block” means a decoded block that has been coded when a coding process is performed by a picture coding device, while it means a decoded block when a decoding process is performed by a picture decoding device.
  • Figs. 3 are diagrams that show coding trees for coding the 9 patterns of intra prediction modes shown in Figs. 1 .
  • a method for transmitting an intra prediction mode according to MPEG-4 AVC follows the coding tree of the symbol 301 in Fig. 3A .
  • an inner node (circle) is assigned a code
  • a leaf (square) is assigned a mode number of intra prediction.
  • a leaf denoted by the symbol 302 is a most probable mode, which will be described later.
  • the most probable mode is assigned "1”
  • the mode 7 is assigned the code "0111", for example.
  • Figs. 4 are diagrams that show coding syntax for transmitting an intra prediction mode according to the coding trees shown in Figs. 3 .
  • prev_intra_pred_flag is a syntax element identifying if it is a most probable mode
  • rem_intra_pred_mode is a syntax element indicating a mode number.
  • 1 bit of prev_intra_pred_flag is first read from a coded sequence, and, if the prev_intra_pred_flag is 1, the intra prediction mode will be set to the most probable mode and the next syntax will be handled. If the prev_intra_pred_flag is not 1, another 3 bits of prev_intra_pred_flag will be read out, and the intra prediction mode will be set to a prediction mode indicated by rem_intra_pred_mode.
  • the 17 patterns of intra prediction modes shown in Fig. 2A can be coded according to the coding tree of the symbol 303 in Fig. 3B , using a similar transmission method.
  • processed neighboring blocks which are adjacent to a target block, are referred to.
  • the processed neighboring blocks are defined as the uppermost block among blocks positioned adjacent to the left side of the target block (referred to as a "reference block A") and the leftmost block among blocks positioned adjacent to the upper side of the target block (referred to as a "reference block B").

  • the most probable mode is identical with one of the intra prediction modes for the reference blocks.
  • the coding trees shown in Figs. 3 assign a 1-bit code to a most probable mode and assign a 1+3-bit, i.e., a 4-bit code to each of the other modes, according to the following probability model:
  • Such a transmission method has the advantage of reducing the code amount of intra prediction modes on average by assigning a shorter code word to a subject prediction mode when the mode is identical with a most probable mode.
  • the actual probability of a most probable mode p(mpm) is merely about 0.2 on average, and the coding trees shown in Figs. 3 do not necessarily reflect the actual distribution of intra prediction modes. Therefore, it cannot be said that the method described above is an optimal method for improving coding efficiency.
